Content

Zonder de planten die ons met voedsel, energie en zuurstof verzorgen, zouden wij op aarde nog geen week overleven. Merkwaardig genoeg golden planten eeuwenlang als schepsels van een lagere orde, ietsje boven de levenloze wereld. Sinds kort heeft wetenschappelijk onderzoek bevestigd wat Darwin al vermoedde: dat planten ondanks hun (schijnbare) onbeweeglijkheid over verbazingwekkende vaardigheden beschikken, en zelfs over intelligentie.

Behalve de vijf zintuigen van de mens beschikken planten nog over minimaal vijftien andere. Om elektromagnetische velden te scannen, de zwaartekracht van bloemen, takken en bladeren te berekenen en de chemische substanties van hun leefmilieu te analyseren. Met reukstoffen waarschuwen ze elkaar voor vijandige planteneters of lokken ze dieren aan om hen bij te staan in de verdediging. Met hun wortels vormen ze enorme netwerken en laten informatie over hun leefomgeving circuleren. Zonder bewegelijke organen hebben zij een vorm van 'zwermintelligentie' ontwikkeld die hun overleven veiligstelt.

Wat planten zeker niet doen, is vegeteren. Meer kennis van hun buitengewoon slimme strategieën en vaardigheden kan ons bijvoorbeeld leren afstand te doen van pesticiden, of hun nano-intelligente systemen als voorbeeld te gebruiken voor computers en complexe netwerken.

Niet voor niets stellen vooraanstaande wetenschappers planten inmiddels op dezelfde evolutionaire trede als dieren. Stefano Mancuso geeft ons een uiterst toegankelijk geschreven inkijk in de fascinerende wereld van hun vaardigheden en intelligentie.

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages.
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages.
